"They scraped through [to the group stages] and I thought they’d actually won the thing." "They’ve got to change the mindset. I’m on about the qualifying games when they were scraping through then celebrating like they’d won the bloody thing."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/776725314944790528?lang=en Former Celtic man Chris Sutton has since hit back at Keane in his column for the Daily Record. He feels that because Keane was such a great player, he sets the bar too high for Celtic.
"All points that in isolation you can argue. But all points made with a short sighted and unfair reflection on the current circumstances. The problem with Roy Keane is that he had such high standards during his career that he probably judges everything by them." "It’s unfair to do that because he was absolutely brilliant. Celtic would love a team of Roy Keanes but he would cost up to £90 million in this day and age."While addressing the mindset point, Sutton had a wee pop at Ipswich Town, a rival of one of his former sides Norwich City. While he agrees with Keane's point that this aspect of the team has to change, he believes it won't be a quick fix for Brendan Rodgers.
"Roy Keane talks about the mindset in European away games. Well, he’s managed Ipswich Town so he’ll know all about weak mentality. He’s right in saying it has to change but it takes time and things need to be put into perspective." "Celtic were losing games on the road with a far stronger set of players than they have now. Last season they didn’t even win a game in the Europa League. Brendan Rodgers can’t just flick a switch after being in the door for five minutes."Stephen Rochford chats with Colm Parkinson on The GAA Hour, heated Lee Keegan debate, and Barry Cahill is outnumbered by Mayo backers.
